BBC Radio Wales has a special “morning of the match” programme on the day of the big game, where we broadcast the breakfast programme from The Angel Hotel, which is one of the hotels near the Millennium Stadium, opposite Cardiff Castle.

We’re looking for Welsh rugby fans, and also any Argentinians who live in or near Cardiff, or who are coming especially for the game and are staying here on Friday night, and would like to come along to our Outside Broadcast.

The programme is on air between 7am-9am.

The aim is to kick start the day with lots of atmosphere and build up the excitement to the game. Naturally at 7am we have to do our best to create a bit of atmosphere – which is where the fans come in.

We’d like to group together different people at The Angel on Saturday November 21 for the Wales v Argentina game, so that the presenter (Gareth Lewis) can have plenty of people to chat to over the course of the programme. It’s a relaxed format, with lots of talk about the fans’ expectations, their critique of the team’s performance so far, strengths, weaknesses etc, but also a bit of banter about their own background – where they’ve come from, who they’re there with, plans for the day, and so on.

As you can guess, it would involve an early start, and we’d be looking to get fans to the hotel just before 7am and ideally stay until 9am, but if they need to come and go that shouldn’t be a problem.

Please call India @ BBC Radio Wales on 029 2032 2141 or 029 2032 2142 if you can help.
